INTRODUCTION 

Genealogy is a fascinating subject and one which has 
always interested me. Several years ago I made a visit to 
Merrimac and Amesbury with my wife to see what we could 
learn of her ancestors. We procured considerable informa- 
tion, to which we added much afterward. About two 
years ago it occurred to me that it would be of interest to 
carry this further, and, if sufficient material could be pro- 
cured, to publish it for the information of the family and any 
others who might be interested. Accordingly I set about the 
task of endeavoring to locate and get the record of all Patten 
families Vv^ho trace their line back to William Patten, who 
was of Cambridge in 1635. I have succeeded beyond my 
expectations, and have been able to follow out the lines 
more fully than I anticijDated. I have got much assistance 
from county and town histories and records, as well as from 
genealogies of allied families. Of these I will mention par- 
ticularly the Roberdeau Genealogy, in which is given a full 
account of the Patten family, who became connected with 
them by marriage ; also the Sargent Genealogy to which I 
am indebted for those families of Amesbury and vicinity 
who married into that family. 

I have been much indebted tc Rev. C. H. Pope, whose 
long experience in preparing genealogies has been of great 
assistance to me. I regret that his researches for me in 



INTRODUCTION 

England in 1907 failed to discover any definite and positive 
trace of the family before coming to this country. 

I wish also here to express my thanks to the members of 
the family who in many cases have responded so freely to 
the inquiries I have made, and who have been ready to 
furnish and ascertain anything that might assist me. Some 
families will be found to be incomplete. This is due to two 
causes: one, lack of information about parties who could 
furnish the material; another, neglect of parties, v/ho were 
able to furnish the material, but failed to reply to inquiries 
made of them ; the number of these is very small. 

Errors very hkely may be found, but in a work of this size 
it is difficult not to have some occur ; but I trust that I have 
kept them at a minimum. In some cases I have found two 
different dates for the same event. This may account for 
some apparent discrepancies. 

In closing, perhaps, I cannot do better than to quote a 
paragraph I once saw in a genealogy, the author being given 
as B. L. Swan. He said : " There is no perfect genealogical 
work extant, nor can one be made. The causes of error are 
many and difficult to avoid."

PATTEN GENEALOGY 



WILLIAM PATTEN OF CAMBRIDGE 

FIRST GENERATION 

The origin and location of the ancestry of William Patten 
has always been an open question. There are traditions 
regarding the family in England, but, in his case, there 
is no evidence in support of them. It is reported that a 
family of Pattens were in the north of England and went 
from there to Scotland in the fifteenth century, and about 
a century later some of their descendants went to the north 
of Ireland. Such a theory may be correct regarding the 
Pattens who came to this country in the eighteenth century, 
as they are stated to have come from Scotland and from 
Ireland. 

A survey of Great Britain at the time of the settlement of 
New England shows but a few places where the name of 
Patten occurs to any very great extent. One of these was 
Lancaster County. In the parish of Warrington, sixteen 
miles east from Liverpool, there was a family of Pattens, 
and it was from this neighborhood that many settlers came 
to Dorchester and its vicinity. It is also from this region 
that the William Patten went who was Bishop of Winchester 
and founder of Magdalen College. The latter is a man who 
is claimed by most of the Pattens in this country as their 
ancestor, but I have so far failed to find any proof which 



2 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

could connect them with him. The earliest will to be found 
in this region is that of Thomas Patten, of Warrington, in 
1579. After this we find no other wills until 1653, when one 
Thomas Patten, of Warrington, made his will and in it 
expressed gratitude to his brother William for various kind 
favors and appointed him as his executor. This could 
hardly have been our William, for as he had already been 
in this country at least eighteen years it is not probable that 
he would at that time have been appointed an executor of a 
will in England. 

Another locality where there were many Pattens was the 
county of Somerset, and it is to this family that I am inclined 
to think our William belonged. Nothing has been found 
to show by what vessel he came here, and if this point could 
be established a clue would perhaps be furnished to his 
residence before coming to this country. 

We find also traditions in the family, not only in one 
branch but in many, that three brothers came to this country 
and settled in different places. This is a tradition that can 
be found'to exist in a large number of New England families. 
This fact as far as this family is concerned is not supported 
by any evidence. Besides William Patten there seems to 
have been but one other of that name mentioned in the 
records of that time. This was Nathaniel Patten, who 
settled in Dorchester. Nathaniel Patten came from Crew- 
kerne (Cruets urna, the place of the cross), in the county of 
Somerset, England, and while he may possibly have been 
related in some way to our William, yet there is no evidence 
that he was a brother. In fact the evidence is to the con- 
trary.*; There is evidence existing to show clearly how and 
when he came to this country. In the note-book of Thomas 
Lechford, an attorney of that time, there is a legal document 



FIRST GENERATION 3 

in which Nathaniel's former residence is stated and par- 
ticulars as to his coming over as one of the charterers of the 
ship Charles of Bristol, in which he sailed on the i8th of 
June, 1640. 

In the note-book referred to is a notice of an account for 
which he brought suit against the undertakers of the ships 
Charles of Bristol and the Hopewell of London. The last 
items in the bill were as follows: 



Itm for a bag of hoppes spoyled by the raine because 
some of the undertakers gave orders it should not 
be received aboard 6 12 6 

Itm for a nimming sheet and rugg lent unto the Steward 

Robert Ring for the undertakers use 280 

Itm for a cabbin bought in the ship because I had not 
convenience in the ship according to agreement for 
myself e & family i 10 o 

Itm for a womans pillion lost in the ship Hopewell o 10 p 

Itm costs & charges att Bristoll from the 24th of May 
till the 18th of June for myselfe & family because 
att the said 24th day we should have bin gone 500 

Itm they undertooke to victuall the said ship Charles for 
16 weekes & to carry but 150 passingers, but they 
carryed in the sayd ship a great many more passin- 
gers to my remembrance, and they the passingers 
were debarred of our beere & water before landing 
& if we had bin put to a long voyage we must 
needs have suffered much more than we did, wch 
I leave to the consideration of the Cort 

He settled in Dorchester and was a prominent citi- 
zen there and was interested in considerable real estate. 
In Suffolk Registry of Deeds, under date of July 21, 1671, 



4 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

we find that Nathaniel Patten, of Dorchester, in the county 
of Suffolk, appointed his " trusty and welbeloved kinsman 
Thomas Patten of Bristoll nowe resident in Boston " his 
true and lawful attorney to act in all business matters for 
him. This Thomas Patten probably did not remain here 
permanently, as there is no further evidence of him after the 
settlement of the estate of Nathaniel. Nathaniel Patten died 
Jan. 31, 1661. He left no surviving children that there is 
any record of. He left no will, but his wife Justine made a 
will dated January 2, 1673. In this she mentions different 
relatives to whom she left property, but no children. Decem- 
ber 14, 1674, an agreement was entered into between Ben- 
jamin Bale, of Dorchester, and Thomas Patten, attorney 
for his father John Patten of Severalls in the parish of Crew- 
kern within the realm of England, referring to the settle- 
ment of the estate of Nathaniel Patten, of Dorchester. This 
agreement refers to Benjamin Bale as being Nathaniel 
Patten's sister's son, and provided that all his estate outside 
of what the court had set aside for the widow should be 
divided into two equal parts; one part to be given to Ben- 
jamin Bale and the other part to Thomas Patten, attorney 
for John Patten, for the use of said John Patten and any 
other person concerned with him. By this agreement also a 
division of the real estate was made, one part being set off 
to Benjamin Bale in consideration of his delivering to Thomas 
Patten sometime the next summer one load of fresh hay. 
The other part was set off to Thomas Patten in consideration 
of his paying to Benjamin Bale 59 pounds. 

In England we find the wiU of Thomas Patten, of Crew- 
kern, in Somerset County, and he was clearly the father of 
Nathaniel. In this will, which was dated March 27, 1629, 
mention is made of his nephews Robert and Thomas Patten ; 



FIRST GENERATION 5 

also his sons John, Thomas and Nathaniel ; also his daugh- 
ters Sarah, Joane and Elizabeth, and his brother John, but 
the name of William nowhere appears in this family, thus 
showing T think plainly that William and this Nathaniel were 
not brothers. 

In Somersetshire we find the will of one Thomas Petten 
of Hardington Manfylde (Mandeville), Somerset, which I 
give here. 

" In the Name of God Amen. 

" The ninth dale of November in the second year of the 
Raigne of our Soveraigne lord Charles by the grace of god 
King of England, Scotland, Fraunce and Ireland defender 
of the faith. Anno Domini One thousand sixe hundred

In witness hereof I have here unto sett my hand and seale 
the daie and yeare first above written. 

" Signed sealed and published in the presents of us John 
Marsh, John Apley, John Marsh the younger. 

" Proved at London lo May 1627." 

Here we find a William Patten mentioned who may have 
been our pioneer. The county of Somerset was essentially 
a farming country, and what would be more natural than 
that one coming from such a country should be selected by 
the inhabitants of Cambridge as a proper person and one 
well fitted to take the care of their town cattle. Unfortunately 
for us the parish registers for that vicinity in England are 
not in existence for that period. The Hardington Mande- 
ville registers only go back to the year 1687. 

Another question that has been raised is whether there 
is any coat of arms of the family. I have found, in several 
branches, what has been held to be a Patten coat of arms, 
and while I have seen two or three of these, I have found no 
two of them exactly alike, and probably others, of which 
I have heard but not seen, have the same dissimilarity. Not 
every family in England was entitled to bear arms, and I 
am inclined to the opinion that the Somersetshire Pattens, 
being a farming class, were not of those who had this right, 
and consequently there is no true coat of arms of this branch 
of the family. 



FIRST GENERATION 7 

The first mention of William Patten to be found in this 
country is in the Cambridge Town Records under date of 
March 13, 1635-36, when the following vote was passed: 

" Agreed Wth William Patten to kepe 100 Cattell one the 
otherside the Riuer for the space of seauen Mounthes to 
begine when the Towne shall appoint him and to haue 
Twenty pounds the one halfe paid him In Monny when he 
hath kept halfe his tyme and the other halfe In Come when 
he hath done keeping at the price wch the Comon Rate of 
Corne goeth when he is to be paid and he is to haue a man 
to help him the first 14 days he payinge him for one wee'ke the 
Towne for the other alsoe he is to lodg ther exsept once a 
weeke and to haue a man to keepe them every other Saboth 
day and hee to pay xs a beast for every beast he shall loese 
and to keepe noe Cattell of anny man exsept the Towns- 
men give leaue vpon the forfetuer of 55 a head for every head 
he shall soe keepe." 

In 1638 there appears the following record: 

" Agreed with wm. Patten to keepe three score ( ) cowes 
more or lesse vnder 4 score att the direction of the Townsmen 
for all this sumr vntill they take them in att los a weeke the 
one halfe to be pd in the first weeke in July eithr in monie 
or good corne & thothr halfe when he leaveth of keeping 
them in monie & those that Refuse to paye in monie shall 
paye in corne att the price that it is att when it is merchant- 
able he is to pay ^d for eur cowe he leaveth out a night & 
xs a cowe for eurie one that is lost through his Defaulte he is 
to take noe oth cattell without the townsmens consent he is 
to dry ve them out by six of the clock in the morning & bring 
them home by sunn halfe an houre high att night at the latest 
& to bring them into the towne cure Evening he is to keepe 
them but eurie third Sabt & thoth to be prvided for as in 



8 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

former tyme & whoe eur shall bring in anie strange cattell 
shall synde a helpe for 2 or 3 dayes & the owners to bring 
them into the common eure morning by the tyme appoynted 
& his owne cow to be kept free as long as he keepeth them 
& he is to pay 6d damage for eurie morning that he is not 
gone out by the tyme appoynted." 

In 1646 we find that Brother Patten was fined for one hog 
without keeper thrice is. 

On the 20th day of the 3d month, 1649, we find that 
Andrew Stevenson and William Patten were appointed to 
execute the town order concerning hogs, and to levy on all 
such as shall be found breaking that order the just penalty 
of the same therein prescribed. In the same year liberty 
was granted some of the townsmen, among them William 
Patten, for the present hay time to mow the Common meadow 
at Shawshine, '* prvided they intrench uppon noe prpriety." 

On two or three different occasions we find him appointed 
as one of the surveyors of fences, his district being that about 
the Menotomy fields. He was also appointed surveyor of 
highways on one or two occasions. 

The Common, as it was called, was well timbered, for we 
find that when any one wished for lumber he went to the 
selectmen for permission to get it from the Common. In 
1660, at a meeting of the selectmen, several people, among 
them William Patten, were granted liberty to take timber 
to repair their fences and for " reparaccon " of their houses. 
In 1663 he was granted liberty to take timber from the 
Common for a cart, and at another time for a cow-house 
and half a hundred " rayles." In November, 1665, he was 
granted liberty to fell timber to build a lean-to and an end 
to his barn; and in 1668 to " repayre his old house at 
towne." He did not always ask for permission, for in 1662,

FIRST GENERATION 9 

we find that he was fined 205 for felling trees on the Common 
contrary to town orders. Fines levied by the selectmen were 
sometimes abated, for in 1663 we find that a fine imposed 
upon William Patten was abated 55. 

In 1642 we find William Patten enrolled as a member of 
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. 

William Patten lived on what is now Massachusetts 
Avenue, opposite the Common. We find in the Proprietors 
Records that William Patten had " One house and garden, 
about halfe an Acre upon the Cow Common, John means 
East, Cow Common South, thomas Blogget west pine 
swampe North." 

" In the new Lotts next Manotomie two Acres of plant eing 
grounde Persivall Greene East, Willam Manning west 
Richard Champnies South, Gregory Stone North." 

In 1645 forty-seven lots on west side of Menotomy River 
were granted to the several inhabitants of the Town. In 
this distribution William Patten had " Three Acr more 
or lesse, Richard francis East Daniell Kempster West, 
Chariest owne lyne north Comon south." 

A reference to the accompanying plan will give an idea of 
the location of his place. In 1901 the City of Cambridge 
published their early town records and with them a plan of 
the place in 1635 which had been compiled from the best 
sources obtainable. By the courtesy of the City Clerk I am 
able to reproduce that plan here. 

June 9, 1652, an agreement was made by the Church as 
to the division of Shawshine. In this William Patten was 
assigned Lot 87, containing ninety acres. Although by 
the generosity of the Church all the inhabitants received 
allotments of the Shawshine lands, comparatively few estab- 
lished a residence there. Although the name of William 



10 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

Patten appears often in the matters of land distribution in 
the settlement of Billerica, yet it is doubtful if he ever took 
up his residence there, but remained in Cambridge until 
his death. As early as 1655 there were so many house- 
holders there that they were incorporated as a distinct town 
named Billerica. The town records, January 29, 1654-55, 
show that, in answer to a letter sent them by their neighbors 
of Shawshine, alias Billerica, wherein they desire that the 
whole tract may be disengaged from this place and be one 
entire body by itself, a committee of five was appointed, who 
drew up an agreement for a separation, and this was con- 
sented to by William Patten and others present, inhabitants 
of Shawshine. This agreement, or Great Deed, as it is 
called, has been carefully preserved by the town of Billerica, 
and bound between two covers which bear the inscription : 
" The Great Deed from the Cambridge Proprietors to the 
Billerica Proprietors, 1654." 

The body of the deed reads as follows : 

" To ALL PEOPLE to whome these prsents shall come 
Greeting Know ye that wee whose names are Subscribed 
FOR Sundry good consideracions us thereunto moving and

This is the foundation upon which the Town of Billerica 
was started, and to this document the name of William Patten 
with others was signed. I here reproduce the document, so 
that his descendants may see his name as he wrote it. The 
name may be seen in the fifth column, about half-way down. 

He married before coming to this country Mary , 

who died Sept. 20, 1673. 

William Patten died December 10, 1668. He left no will, 
but on April 2, 1669, his wife filed with the court the follow-

SECOND GENERATION 

2. Thomas ' (William ^) was born in Cambridge 
October, 1636; m. Rebecca Paine, of Dedham, April i, 1662, 
the daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Paine ; born October 
19, 1642. She died May 19, 1680. He married second, 
Sarah Dunton, of Reading, May 20, 1686. Her name by 
some authorities is given as Didson or Ditson, but the name 
of Dunton is that given by the Billerica records. In 1654 
Thomas Patten went to Billerica to live and resided there 
until his death. His house was west of Long Street, south of 
the Common, near the house of Francis Richardson. He 
did not seem to take an active part in the public affairs of 
the town, but he owned considerable land there at the time 
of his death. He also owned an interest in a sawmill near 
Patten ville. 

In the treasurer's accounts of the town for the year 1664, 
we find that Ralph Hill, Sen., and Thomas Patten are charged 
thirteen shillings each for " not traininge." 

Billerica being a frontier settlement, there was great fear 
of the Indians and much dread of an attack from them. 
In 1675 an order was passed by the selectmen and committee 
of the militia appointing garrison houses and assigning 
citizens to them. We make the following extract from the 
order : 

"5. They appoint Thomas Pattin's house for garrison 
& to entertaine Goldin Moore, Samuel ffrost, Jno. Kidder, 
Roger Toothaker & John Trull; seven soldiers & five 
families." 

In the same order overseers were appointed for each garri- 
son, whose duty it was to regulate the work of the garrison 
and determine what should be done for fortifying them. 



SECOND GENERATION 17 

Orders were also issued putting strict regulations on the 
conduct of the citizens, and giving instructions as to what 
should be done in case of an attack by the Indians. A 
master was also appointed for each garrison, Thomas Patten 
being appointed for his house. 

He died January i6, 1690. His widow married for her 
second husband, Thomas Richardson, December 29, 1690. 
Just previous to his death he made a will which was as 
follows : 



" The last Will and Testiment of Thomas Pattin of Billerica, 
aged about fifty four, January 14th. 1689-90. 

" I, Thomas Pattin, being very weak of body, yet of perfect 
memory, and of a disposing mind do make & ordaine my last \vill

and William, was the celebrated victim of the " West-

organized resistance to the royal authority in the

3. Nathaniel ' (William ') was born in Cambridge 
July 29, 1643; married Nov. 24, 1669, Rebecca Adams. 
She was the daughter of John and Anne Adams. John 
Adams is believed to be the sixth son of Henry Adams, of 
Braintree, one of the first settlers in the west part of Cam- 
bridge. She died Dec. 18, 1677. He married, second, Oct. 
8, 1678, Sarah Cooper. She died and he married, third, Oct. 
15, 1711, Sarah Hancock, who was daughter of Nathaniel 
and Mary (Prentice) Hancock and was born Aug. 23, 1667. 
He died at Cambridge, June 12, 1725. 

Nathaniel Patten seems to have been very prominent in 
town affairs, holding different offices at various times, such 
as field-driver, hog-reeve, surveyor of highways, and fence- 



22 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

viewer for the " Menotomy feilds." In 1682 he was ap- 
pointed town constable, and in 1683 was chosen tithing-nian. 

Like his father, he did not always ask permission when he 
wished for lumber, for we find that in 1671 John Adams, 
Nathaniel Patten, Jonathan Dunster and Joseph Holmes 
appeared before the selectmen and were convicted of felling 
wood on the Common, and were fined los each for their 
default. 

In 1675 he was granted timber for a pair of wheels, and in 
1677 ^^ was granted liberty to fell two trees for rails, and a 
tree for posts and a tree for a ground sill ; and again in 1682 
he was granted six trees for ground sills for his house and 
barn, and a tree for clapboards for his barn, and two trees 
for his out fence. Several other times his name appears in 
this connection. In 1683 it is recorded that he went into the 
Common Swamp with others and found fifteen loads of wood 
cut without permit, and they brought the trespassers before 
the selectmen and they were fined. 

April 20, 1685, Abraham Holman and Nathaniel Patten 
were chosen " overseers of the flocke of sheep, for the pro- 
viding of a shepherd and foulding of the sheep and Carefully 
to Inspect them in all Consernes." He was again chosen to 
this duty in the following year. 

At this time he was interested in the alewife fishery, for 
we find that on April 13, 1685, the selectmen voted to " lett 
the ware to nathaniel Patten, the ware & feild for 305 the 
yeare and if the fish doth not Come up according to expec- 
tation the Selectmen promise to abate him what they shall 
see cause." Evidently the fish were not running well that 
year, for at the latter end of the year they agree to abate him 
ten shillings ; " & to pay twenty shillings for ye yeare past & 
twenty shilling for ye yeare befor." 



SECOND GENERATION 23 

In 1686 the selectmen made choice of him to look after 
the gate at Notomie Bridge and the cross fence for the ensuing 
year, and he was to have the rent of the " ware " allowed him 
and was ordered to hang the gate by the first day of May. 

In 1693 it was voted to sell some of the Common lands to 
raise money to pay some debts due, and he was chosen one 
of a committee to attend to the sale. 

He served in King Phillip's War, being in Capt. Nathaniel 
Davenport's company.

7. Kendall ^ (Thomas,^ William ') was born April 20, 
1689, in Billerica. According to Billerica records his first 
wife was named Abigail, for we find her death recorded as 
on July 20, 1 7 18. These records also state that he married 
Abigail Kittredge about 1720. She was the daughter of 
John KJttredge, and was born Nov. 15, 1700. She died 
Dec. 4, 1737. He must have married a third time, as at his 
death his widow is spoken of as Susanna. He lived in 
Tewksbury and died Dec. 14, 1770. His real estate was 
appraised and divided by a. commission who reported Jan. 
8, 1 771. They valued it at £365 125 8(i, and divided what 
was left after they had set off the thirds to the widow Susanna 
into two parts : one part they assigned to Daniel Shed and 
wife Abigail, heirs of Sarah Twiss, wife of John Twiss,

and heirs of Hannah Rider, wife of Josiah Rider ; the other 
part they assigned to Mehitable Button, daughter of Kendall, 
Ephraim and Mary Frost, and Samuel and Rebecca Ober. 
As no mention is made of his daughter Elizabeth or his 
son Kendall or any heirs of them, it is to be presumed that 
they had died previous to this time, leaving no heirs. The 
widow, Susanna, died shortly after this, for we find that an 
inventory of her estate was made July 21, 1772, and filed in 
the probate court. 

He served in the French war as " Trooper." His name 
appears on a company roll in 1705.

of Woburn, who was the daughter of John Wright. She 
died Mar. 9, 1716, aged 38 years, 10 days. He married, 
second, Sarah Frost, of Cambridge, May 17, 1720. She 
died at Menotomy, now Arlington, Aug. 11, 1747, aged 78 
years. He died probably early in the year 1727, as his widow 
was appointed administrator of his estate May 8, 1727. 
His widow married Joseph Hamilton, of Boston, May 2, 
1728. Mar. 25, 1730, the heirs filed a petition for the estate 
to be appraised, as Sarah Hamilton had quitted her right of 
dower. 
His real estate at that time was appraised as follows : 

£ s 
The homestead containing one acre of land with one 

dwelling and shop . . . . . . - 150 

One acre and a half of meadow in Charlestown . . 67 10 
One half of two acre lot in Charlestown called Symmes

Seventeen acres of pasture in Cambridge . . .120

This property was all to be dehvered to Joseph Russell, 
who was to pay each of the heirs the amount of money they 
would be entitled to as their share of the estate. This did 
not include all the property of Nathaniel Patten, as in 
addition to this he had his share in his father's estate. The 
above property was included in the inventory of his estate 
filed May 10, 1727, but we find that in the following July an 
additional inventory was filed which stated that it was his 
share of his father's estate. This consisted of:

bridge, July 12, 1676; married Abigail Willis, of Medford, 
Jan. 3, 1 701. She was the daughter of Stephen Willis and 
granddaughter of George Willis. George Willis was born in 
England in 1601, and was in Cambridge in 1637, where he 
was admitted freeman May 2, 1638. He lived to a good old 
age, for in 1687 we find him with others addressing a petition 
to King James II. (Hutchinson History of Massachusetts, 
Vol. I.). At that time Governor Androswas harassing the 
colonists by disputing their titles to their lands, on the ground 
that the Colonial Charter having been cancelled by the 
Court of Chancery, all grants heretofore made under it were 
invalid and of no effect. The address runs as follows : " The 
petition and address of John Gibson, aged about 87 and of 



36 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

George Willow, aged 86 years, as also on behalf of their 
neighbours, the inhabitants of Cambridge in New England, 
in most humble w ise sheweth ; That your majestys good sub- 
jects, with much hard labour and great disbursements have 
subdued a wilderness, built our houses and planted orchards, 
being encouraged by our indubitable right to the soil by 
the royal charter granted unto the first planters, together 
with our first purchases of the natives, as also by sundry let- 
ters and declarations sent to the late governor and company 
from his late Majesty, your royal brother, assuring us of the 
full enjoyment of our properties and possessions, as is more 
especially contained in the declaration sent when the quo 
warranto was issued out against our charter. But we are 
necessitated to make this our moan and complaint to your 
excellent Majesty, for that our title is now questioned to 
our lands, by us quietly possessed for near 60 years, and 
without which we cannot subsist. Our humble address to 
our governor Sir Edmund Andros shewing our just title, 
long and peaceable possession, together with our claim of 
the benefit of your Majesty's letters and declarations assuring 
all your good subjects that they shall not be molested in 
their properties and possessions, not availing. 

" Royal Sir, We are a poor people and have no way to 
procure money to defend our cause in the law ; nor know 
we of friends at court, and therefore unto your royal 
Majesty as the publick father of all your subjects, do we 
make this our humble address for relief, beseeching your 
Majesty graciously to pass your royal act for the confirm 
mation of your Majesty's subjects here in our possessions; 
to us derived from our late Governor and Company of 
this your Majesty's colony. 

" We now humbly cast ourselves and the distressed con- 



THIRD GENERATION 37 

dition of our wives and children at your Majesty's feet and 
conclude with that saying of Queen Esther, ' if we perish we 
perish.' " . . 

The revolution in England the following year, which 
removed the Stuart king from the throne, probably relieved 
the signers of the above petition from further apprehension 
of a disturbance of their titles by the Crown. 

Stephen Willis, the son of George, was born Oct. 14, 1644, 
and in early life removed to Braintree, where he married 
Hannah, daughter of Francis and Mary Eliot. He later 
removed to Medford, where his daughter Abigail was born 
Oct. 3, 1677. 

«At a meeting of inhabitants of Cambridge, held Mar. 11, 
1100, for choice of town officers and other business, the 
following vote was passed : 

" William Pattin requesting of the Proprietors yt he 
might have halfe an Acre of land where his house standeth 
wch he is willing to purchase it was voted by ye Proprietors 
that he shall have that liberty and give what the sd Com- 
mittee above mentioned shall determine." 

At this meeting he was appointed fence- viewer ; and at 
the meeting held a year later, he was appointed surveyor 
of highways. 

William Patten lived in Cambridge until 171 2, when he 
removed to Medford. His wife died Feb. 19, 1725. He died 
Sept. 7, 1744.

12. Nathaniel* {Thomas,^ Thomas,' William*) was

whom he married is an uncertainty. In a cemetery at 
Willington, Conn., are said to be the following inscriptions: 

" Dea. Nathaniel Patten died Apr. 19, 1779, in his 77th 
year. Mrs. Ruth Patten, wife of Dea. Nathaniel Patten, 
formerly wife of Mr. William Johnson. Died Oct. 3, 1786, 
ae. 80." 

Mr. William Johnson, by the same authority, died June 2, 



FOURTH GENERATION 39 

1774. A search of the Willington town and church records 
fails to throw any light on this matter. 

Nathaniel Patten seems to have been a favorite name. 
There were in Connecticut Pattens bearing this name, 
but I have not been able to get sufficient information on 
them to connect them with our line. In only one instance 
have I been able to get in communication with any of their 
descendants. If these are in connection with this line it 
would be, I think, through this one, who died in Willington. 
There was a Nathaniel Patten in Killingly, who married 
Anna Hutchins, Oct. 18, 1730. He had ten children whose 
births are recorded in Killingly.

i. Deborah, b. Sept. 7, 1733.

ix. Susie, b. June 19, 1751.

Of this family we know nothing further, except that the 
name of Nathaniel Patten appears on a subscription to hire 
a minister in South Killingly in April, 1735. 

At a later date there was a Nathaniel Patten in Norwich, 
and some authorities on Norwich history say he was of Cam- 
bridge. In a history of Norwich we find the following account 
of him. In May, 1774, " Nathaniel Patten, Book binder and 
Stationer from Boston," opened a shop " near the east end 



40 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

of the plain," not far from Robertson's printing office. He 
proposed " to bind, gild and letter books in as splendid a 
manner as can be done in London." At the same time he 
qffered for sale the largest assortment of books that had 
probably ever been displayed in this part of Connecticut. 
His stock included works of Doddridge, Watts, Owen, 
Harvey, Rowe, Thomson, Smollett; Blair's " Grave," 
" Pilgrim's Progress," ^' Vicar of Wakefield," " Arabian 
Nights," Milton's " Looking Glass for Laity and Clergy," 
" New England's Memorial," " King Philip's Bloody War," 
Lord Somers's " Judgment of Kjngdoms and Nations," 
Hancock's " Oration, on the Bloody 5th of March, 1770," 
Rev. Mr. Sampson Ocean's much approved " Collection of 
Hymns and Spiritual Songs," and many other standard and 
popular works, besides school-books and works for children. 
Of stationery he had a great variety, and to this he added 
articles in the fancy line, which resembled the items of more 
modern days. 

** A famous tincture for taking out stains 
Surprising excellent tooth-drops 
Venetian tooth-powder 
Imperial lip-salve 
A most curious eye-water 
A most excellent worm powder," etc. 

It would probably have been difficult at that day to find 
in any other place on the continent, out of the range of the 
great cities, a literary counter presenting greater attractions 
to the old and young of both sexes, than was furnished by 
the book shop of Mr. Patten on Norwich Green. 

Mr. Patten is reported to have left Boston on account of 



FOURTH GENERATION 41 

the troubles with the mother country in which that town 
was so deeply involved. He is said to have left Norwich 
soon after this, but where he went is not stated. 

In 1796 a Nathaniel Patten, of Norwich, married Faith 
Foster. He was of the firm of Sterry and Patten. 

About this time there was a Nathaniel Patten in Hart^ 
ford, who was also a bookbinder by trade. In 1781 
he sold in Newton to David Bemis land and buildings, being 
one-third of a paper-mill. In 1786 his name appears as one 
of the subscribers for building a new church in Hartford. He 
owned, in the First Church, pew No. 8, a large square pew 
on the side aisle. 

He was a man of considerable means and was a frequent 
advertiser in the Hartford papers of that time. I have been 
unable to learn anything of his ancestry. There is a tradition 
among his descendants that he came from Scotland with his 
father when ten yearsof age, and settled in Boston, following 
the printer's trade. He married July 18, 1784, Lucinda 
Hitchcock, daughter of Capt. Aaron and Experience (King) 
Hitchcock. She died Nov. 10, 1789. He married, second. 
Mar. 7, 1792, at Longmeadow, Sarah Burt, who was the 
daughter of Col. Nathaniel and Experience (Chapin) Burt. 
He died Aug. 7, 1834, at the age of 82 years. His wife died 
Nov. 13, 1846, aged 79 years. At the St. Louis Exposition 
his door-plate was used on the Connecticut State Building.

13. John "* (Thomas,^ Thomas,'' William *) was born Mar. 
29, 1705, in Billerica ; married Elizabeth Frost, who was the 
daughter of Edmund and Hannah (Kittredge) Frost and 
was born Feb. 23, 171 7. She died Apr. 20, 1756. They 
lived in Tewksbury, but moved from there in 1753, to 
Shrewsbury, where they were admitted to the church in 1754.

14. Joseph * {Thomas,^ Thomas,' William ') was born 
Sept. 26, 1710, in Billerica; married Jan. 8, 1735, Susanna 
Hill, who was the daughter of Samuel Hill. 

He lived in Billerica until 1743, when his name disappears 
from the tax-list. In 1762 he deeds, together with his wife 
Susanna, all the rights they have in the estate of Samuel 
Hill, of Billerica. This deed is witnessed by Alice and 
Mehitable Patten, and in it he gives his residence as Ship 
Island, Lincoln County. In the Lincoln County Registry 
of Maine, we find that this island is on the east side of the 
Sheepscot River, and that he purchased it of one Samuel 
Barter, in 1746. In 1753 he bought another small island or 
neck of land called Moors Island. In both these deeds he 
gives his residence as Newbury. In 1762 he deeds to Alice

Patten, tailor, his real estate consisting of Ship Island and 
two adjoining necks of land called Moors Island and Indian- 
town Island, together with two hundred acres of land, 
including two ponds, on the main land in the town of Booth- 
bay. 

When at one time a petition was presented for the forma- 
tion of a new county to be called Lincoln County, the name 
of Joseph Patten appears among the petitioners. 

In the first records of Lincoln County, pertaining to the 
opening of the first court in Pownalboro, in the list of 
justices present appears the name of Joseph Patten. In 
the Lincoln County Record in 1762 we find a list of mar- 
riages solemnized by Joseph Patten, J. P.

■ 15. Nathaniel'* {Nathaniel,^ Thomas,'' William^) was 
born in Billerica, Sept. 10, 1707 ; married Mary Kidder, who 
was daughter of Enoch and Mary (Haywood) Kidder. 
They are thought to be the ones who were living in Oxford 
in 1729. Dec. 7, 1729, Nathaniel Patten, cooper, and 
Mary, his wife, convey land and mill in Oxford to Joseph 
Reed, of Leicester. The following year they convey land 
to Benoni Twitchell, also in Oxford. They are afterward 
reported to have gone to Windham, Conn., where their 
children are said to have been born, but on the Windham 
records the birth of Mary only appears. He afterward 



44 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

went to Stafford, Conn., where he remained until his death. 
His grave and that of his wife may be seen there at the 
present time. He died Nov. 25, 1756. His widow married 
Nathaniel Woodward. She died Nov. 30, 1789, aged 88 
years. 

At a court of probate held at Hartford, Sept. 5, 1757, the 
following entry appears: " It was certified to this Court by 
Zebulon West, Esq. Justice of Peace that Sarah Patten, a 
minor 13 years of age, Daughter of Nathaniel Patten, late 
of Tolland, deceased, before him made choice of Nathaniel 
Woodward of Coventry in the County of Windham to be 
her guardian which choice the Court allows." 

At the same court " Nathaniel Woodward of Coventry, 
administrator in right of his wife Mary, the Relict of Nath'l 
Patten, late of Stafford deceased, having settled their account 
of administration on said Estate then move to the Court for 
distribution." The decree of distribution gives " to the 
Rellict of said Dec'd now the wife of said Nath'l Woodward 
one third of the movable Estate, exclusive of Debts and 
charges and one third of the Real Estate for her Improve- 
ment during life and to Nath'l Patten, eldest son a Double

mare, five cows, one heifer, two calves, a yearling steer, 
twenty-one sheep, four swine, nine small pigs, three geese, 
and a swarm of bees. In 1754 a settlement of his estate 
was made by commissioners, who reported Feb. 4, 1754. 
They valued the real estate at £3,175. It consisted of 222 
acres of land, and a pew in the meeting-house. This 
real estate, by a decree of the court, was assigned to the

18. Nathaniel " {Nathaniel,^ Nathaniel,^ William ') was 
born in Cambridge, Dec. 10, 1702. He married Mary . 

He went to Kilhngly, Conn., and was a housewright there 
in 1727. In a deed of land purchased there, he is spoken of 
as of Cambridge. He did not remain there, for on Feb. i, 
1731, administration was granted on the estate of Jonathan 
Patten, late of Charlestown, to his brother Nathaniel Patten, 
late of Kilhngly, County of Windham, Conn., but now 
resident in Cambridge. He is said to be the one who owned 
a house at the corner of Mount Auburn Street and Brattle 
Square. In the deed given when he sold the property in 

1755 his occupation is given as cooper. In a deed given in 

1756 by Nathaniel and his wife Mary his residence is given 
as Watertown. Aug. 25, 1757, John Willson, of Newton, 
sells to Nathaniel Patten, Jr., late of Cambridge, a small 



FOURTH GENERATION 47 

piece of land in Roxbury near the new meeting-house. Aug. 
20, 1759, Samuel Gridley, of Roxbury, sells to Nathaniel 
Patten, of Roxbury, cooper, a small piece of land on the 
meeting-house hill adjoining land of Nathaniel Patten. This 
deed was not recorded until Sept. 30, 1790. The 
record of his family is very incomplete. In the history of 
Cambridge two children are mentioned, namely, Jonathan 
and Ebenezer. William Patten, who was the minister in 
Hartford, was the son of Nathaniel Patten, who lived in 
Roxbury, although the town histories assign him to Nathaniel 
Patten whose wife was Mary Kidder, but he did not live in 
Roxbury. Nathaniel, of Roxbury, also had a son Nathaniel, 
but nothing definite is to be found of him. He also had a 
daughter Mary, who married Thomas Hunt, of Stockbridge, 
Oct. 27, 1789. 

At a meeting held in Roxbury, Nov. 23, 1772, a letter was 
received from the town of Boston requesting a free com- 
munication of sentiments " on our common danger." This 
letter was considered, and a committee, of which Nathaniel 
Patten was one, was chosen to report thereon. The report, 
made Dec. 14th, '' made great uneasiness and very difl&cult 
to understand the true state of the vote and a number of 
the inhabitants withdrew from the meeting after which said 
report and letter of correspondence was read over again and 
accepted." The report was probably drawn up by the 
chairman, Isaac Winslow, Esq., whose conservative views 
led him to cast his vote with the loyalists. Three of the 
committee, one of whom was Nathaniel Patten, refused to 
sign the report. A Committee of Correspondence was then 
chosen, of which Nathaniel Patten was a member. 

In a book entitled " Interesting Family Letters," pub- 
lished by Rev. William Patten of Newport, in 1834, after the 



48 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

death of his mother, we find several letters in which members 
of the family are referred to. 

In a letter from Nathaniel Patten, written in 1767, he says : 
" My son Nathaniel came in from sea last Sabbath." In a 
letter written Dec. 12, 1775, he says: " I am now going to 
remove the third time to make room for our friends the 
soldiers." June 28, 1776, he writes: "We have returned 
to our little habitation and have some of our children with 
us. Daughter P — is come from B — and is with us. My 
son Nathaniel is confined at Nova Scotia. The government 
will not suffer him to come away." On July 16, 1776, he 
again writes and says: ''The very seat of civil war — 
cannon balls often flying among us and into our houses. 
About the 19th of April we heard the British troops were 
coming out of Boston into the country on some hostile design. 
We thought it likely that they would destroy Roxbury, as 
they went along. We therefore in a hurry tumbled out 
what we could of our most valuable effects under fences, or 
where we thought they would be a little out of sight, as we 
had not time to remove them far. But it appeared their 
orders were to go to Concord, and destroy the magazine, 
and stores there. They went peaceably, until they got to 
Lexington, where they killed eight men ; and then continued 
to Concord, where they did some mischief, and killed one or 
two men. Then our people thought it high time to defend 
themselves. There were a few collected, some say 50 or 60 
at fij*st, who attacked the King's troops with such resolution 
as made them retreat, and as they retreated, our people kept 
gathering, until they amounted to about three hundred, as 
I have heard some say, who were in the battle, that attacked 
the king's troops, at any one time, and yet they fled before 
our people, for the Lord was with them, and they could not 



FOURTH GENERATION 49 

stand before them. How wonderful was it to see 500 men 
drive 2,000 veteran troops, for twenty miles, who had 
boasted so much what they could do with the Yankees. 
After this battle, in which they lost five hundred men, accord- 
ing to the best accounts we could get I thought they would 
not dare to come out again. I got our things into the house 
again, and staid until all the people had removed from the 
lower end of the town, a great many for near half a mile 
above us, still I thought there was no danger of their coming 
out ; perhaps they might take it into their heads to fire their 
cannon, and spoil our houses, but thought after the first 
shot or two we should have time to escape; but one night 
about nine o'clock, there was news that the troops were 
coming out of town ; my son came in and told his mother, 
he thought she had better get out of the way if she could; 
it was very dark and muddy and no horse to be got, they 
were all gone; so she was obliged to travel nearly a mile 
in the mud, which she had not done for seven years. After 
that she said she could not go home again — she could not 
run away if there should be occasion. Afterwards she was 
taken sick with a fever, and was nigh death, according to 
human appearance; but God had something more for her 
to do or suffer. Aften^^ard Jonathan and I staid until they 
fired their cannon balls into a number of houses, and one into 
our store and two more, one on each side. Since that every 
few days they fire into Roxbury, and have shattered some 
of the houses very much. After we were driven away, we 
went just up by the middle meeting house, and hired a store, 
and part of a house, so that we have as good accommodations 
as we can expect in these times. My son Jonathan is in 
very good business he is a setler for the army." 
Nathaniel Patten died July 5, 1790, and is buried in 



50 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

the Eustis Street burying-ground. His estate was settled 
by Thomas Hunt as administrator. In March, 1790, we 
find that Nathaniel Patten obtained an execution against 
one Benjamin Hamilton, and to satisfy the execution he 
proceeded to take possession of a piece of land, and for that 
purpose appointed Jonathan Patten, of- Roxbury, as his 
attorney to act for him in the matter. In 1791 we find that 
Jonathan Patten sells two parcels of land in Roxbury ; one 
to Thomas Hunt and the other to Josiah and Nathaniel 
Ruggles. As no wife is mentioned in these deeds it is to be 
presumed that he was not married, or if he had been, the 
wife was not then living.

church records, Aug. 12, 1744.

Nathaniel and Mary ; we find no record of birth. 
There was a son Ebenezer, who was baptized July 22, 
1750, at the house of Nathaniel Patten, according to 
the church records. As no further mention is any- 
where found of him, he probably died young.

Robbins, of Dedham, and was born Nov. 6, 1709. In 1728 
they were living in Stoughton. At the death of her husband 
Mary Patten was appointed administratrix, and on Mar. 
7, 1769, filed an inventory of the estate. His property 
amounted to ;^246 65 id. It consisted, besides personal 
property, in the shape of provisions, furniture, etc., of one 
dwelling-house and sixty-two acres of land, by estimation 
valued at ;£i2o, and cattle as follows : one horse, and yoke of 
oxen, one small heifer and one yoke small bulls, four cows, 
nine sheep, four lambs, two swine, and fowls and geese, the 
whole of them being valued at ;i£29 185 Sd. When the estate 
was settled Mary Patten reports that she has on hand, after 
all debts are paid, the sum of ;gio4 165 ^d. In the order for 
distribution of the estate she is allowed £34 155 gd, and John,

of William Sargent, who came to New England about 1631- 
He was one of the twelve who, with John Winthrop, the 
younger, commenced the settlement of Agawam, now 
Ipswich. His name appears in the Massachusetts Colony 
records as Wm. Srjeant, in an order protecting the grantees 
at Agawam. He was one of the first to settle at Newbury, 
in 1635. 

During the French and Indian War, in 1757, the Earl of 
Loudon was obliged to resort to impressment to raise an 



54 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

army to attack Canada, and Stephen was impressed, but did 
not go, sending a substitute instead. 

He died at Newburyport, Mar. 25, 1761. His wife died 
Jan. 21, 1786. 

Children, born in Amesbury:

23. John ^ (William,^ Nathaniel,'' William ') was born in 
Medford, Jan. i, 17 13; married Nov. 4, 1736, Priscilla 
Loring, who was the daughter of Daniel Loring, of Boston, 
and was born in Boston, Jan. 15, 1713. In 1743 John Patten 
and his wife Priscilla sign an agreement on the division of 
the estate of Daniel Loring. The occupation of John is 
given as that of hatter. Daniel Loring's dwelling, owned by 
Governor Leverett in 1679, his orchard, malt-house, mill- 
house, and wharf were situated on north side of Beach Street, 
opposite Coolidge's new church. The wharf was afterward 
called Jackson's Wharf. His son Nathaniel Loring was a 
partner in the brewery, and at his father's death he was 
bequeathed the principal part of the estate. In 1784 he died 
and gave the same to William Patten, his executor. To his 
sister Priscilla he gave two dwelHng-houses. In 1787 a fire 
in the malt-houses destroyed one hundred buildings, including 
the HoUis Street Church. 

A few years ago there appeared in the Boston Globe an 
account of this fire, from which I make the following extract. 



FOURTH GENERATION 55 

" Boston's great fire of 1787, great for that day with its 
population of something like fifteen thousand, broke out in 
the evening of April 19th in William Patten's malt-house 
in Beach Street, and spread with great rapidity in a southerly 
direction, taking in both sides of Washington Street from 
Eliot to Common Street on the east. 

" The town had almost recovered from the effects of the 
disastrous fire of 1767, and the inhabitants had implicit faith 
in the efficiency of the newly organized fire department. 
They never dreamed that another such scene as they had 
witnessed at the time could be repeated in the town of 
Boston. 

" The following extract from a letter written by Doctor 
Belknap to his friend, Mr. Hazard, is the most interesting 
account of the fire extant. 

" ' Now, my dear sir, I will give you some account of the 
fire of Friday evening. I could, as is usual in such cases, 
tell you of what I did, where I went and how I worked and 
waded through the dock at low water, and all that, but I 
believe a general account, with a small plan or sketch will 
be as much as you will want to have. 

" ' I was on the spot the next day, and with my pencil 
marked its progress, a copy of which I will enclose. The 
wind was a dry northeaster and had prevailed two days, 
the houses, with only one or two exceptions, were wooden 
and shingled. 

'' ' It began in a malt house and had there been no wind 
the malt and dwelling house adjoining would have silently 
consumed without further mischief, and about one hundred 
legs of bacon that were taken to smoke would have been all 
the general damage. 

" * But the wind carried the flakes of fire over the dock into 



56 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

some barns and dock houses adjoining to the main street 
and so rapid and irresistible was its progress that between 
6 and 7 o'clock in the evening it destroyed between 70 and 
80 dwelling houses with Mr. Ebenezer Wright's rectory 
(Hollis Street Church) as far as there was anything to be 
burned and had the town extended 10 or 20 miles in that 
direction, and wooden houses in the way, dry as they were 
the fire would have been equally as extensive. No lives were 
lost though much substance. . . .' 

" April 25th, by an account taken by the selectmen, the loss 
sustained by the fire was 56 dwellings, 13 stores, a meeting- 
house, 8 barns, and 86 families burned out. Loss of property 
in round numbers, twenty thousand dollars. 

" Much praise was given to the inhabitants of Charles- 
town, Roxbury, Dorchester, Milton, Cambridge, and Med- 
ford ' for their very spirited and cheerful assistance with their 
engines on this occasion.' 

" The light given by the fire was so great that at Water- 
town a person's countenance could be plainly distinguished 
at a considerable distance. . . . 

" One result of the fire was to entail a great amount of 
hardship and suffering, and on the following Sunday com- 
mittees of the several churches in the town set on foot sub- 
scriptions, and the large sums contributed told of Boston's 
benevolence and liberality. Among others who contributed 
was General Lafayette, who no sooner heard the news than 
he wrote a letter of sympathy for Boston, and directed 
Samuel Beck to pay two hundred guineas on his account to 
the sufferers. A petition was sent to the General Court for 
relief, and several thousand dollars were appropriated by 
that body." 

I find no complete record of this family, but find that on 



FOURTH GENERATION 57 

March 19, 1765, Priscilla Patten, widow, Sarah and Anna 
Patten, spinsters, Jonathan Patten, tailor, Daniel Patten, 
baker, William Patten, malster, all of Boston, deeded to 
Jonathan Patten, of Medford, shopkeeper, by quitclaim 
deed, " all the Right Property and demand whatsoever that 
we now have or ever may have by any way or means whatso- 
ever to the real Estate of our Hond. Uncle John Willis, late 
of Medford in the County of Middlesex aforesaid deed, 
yeoman whether being in Medford aforesaid or any other 
Place whatever together with all the Estate Right Title 
Interest Use Property Claim and Demand whatsoever of 
them the said Priscilla, Sarah, Anna, Jonathan, Daniel and 
William Patten which they now have or at any time hereto- 
fore had of in and to the aforementioned Premises with the 
appurtenances or to any part thereof or which at any time 
heretofore has been held used occupied or enjoyed as part 
or parcel of the same." 

It is supposed that the above persons were children of 
John Patten, who died in 1759 or 1760. 

Jonathan Patten, of Medford, had previously bought the 
interest of other heirs of John Willis, as on Apr. 23, 
1764, Willis, John, and Stephen Patten, coopers, of Ames- 
bury, gave a similar deed to the one quoted above. On Feb. 
7, 1764, Thomas Patten, a brickburner of Medford, and 
Mary, his wife, also gave Jonathan Patten a similar 
deed. 

In December, 1758, John Patten, with others, deeds to 
Benjamin Willis their interest in dower set off from estate of 
Thomas Willis to Susanna Willis, but, in August, 1761, 
Priscilla is spoken of as a widow. 

Priscilla Patten died Aug. i, 1798, aged 85 years. In her 
will, dated Sept. 13, 1787, and proved Sept. ii, 1798, she 



58 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

mentions her son William and grandson Nathaniel, and 
names her daughter Sarah as executrix. 

Children : 

i. Sarah,' b. in 1738; d. unm. Apr., 1809, aged 71 years. 
ii. Mary, b. in 1739; d. Dec. 29, 1752, aged 13 years. 
45. ill. "William, b. in 1750. 

Sarah, in her will dated Feb. 17, 1808, says : 

" I give and bequeath to my kinsman Nathaniel Patten, late of 
Roxbury, Ropemaker but now residing in Boston, twenty dollars 
and hope that he will consider the manner in which I remember his 
children in the same light of affection as if I had bestowed my 
worldly substance on him. This sum I order for him within one 
year after my decease and as much sooner as my executor may 
find convenient, I give and bequeath to my little namesake Sarah 
Patten, daughter of my kinsman above named One hundred dollars 
to be paid her when she becomes of age. I give devise and bequeath 
unto my trusty friend Robert Lamb of Boston Merchant all my 
Real Estate situate in Boston and bounded as follows; viz; 
Southerly on Beach Street, measuring sixty six feet, Westerly on 
land of John Jarvis, measuring one hundred and Eighteen feet, 
Northerly on Land of John Hoskins, measuring twenty seven 
feet, Easterly on Land of General Henry Jackson, measuring 
seventy three feet. Northerly on Land of said Jackson, measuring 
twenty one feet, and Easterly again on said Jacksons Land, meas- 
uring forty five feet, together with all the buildings thereon and all 
rights and privileges thereto belonging. To have and to hold to him 
the said Robert Lamb for and during the Life of my nephew Na- 
thaniel Patten aforesaid and after his decease to descend to the four 
after named Children of the said Nathaniel as tenants in common 
in equal and undivided shares, of one fourth part to each viz; 
To Nathaniel Patten Junior, Nancy Patten, Mary Burdick Patten 



FOURTH GENERATION 59 

and Sarah Patten and to their heirs and assigns known as a fee 
simple estate. All the Residue of my Property after paying my 
debts and Legacies I give devise and bequeath to the aforenamed 
Children to be divided between them share and share alike." 



Nov. 17, 1808, she added a codicil to the will, in v^rhich 
she provides that " in case my Nephew Nathaniel Patten 
should die before the decease of his present wife I do hereby 
bequeath her the sum of One hundred dollars to be paid 
her yearly and every year from the time of my decease and 
so long as she shall remain a widow." In this codicil, also, 
she bequeaths her tomb in Chapel Church burying-ground 
to the children of Nathaniel Patten. 

24. Aaron " (William,^ Nathaniel,'' William ') was born 
in Medford, Apr. i6, 1717; married Dec. 6, 1739, Jane 
Ordway, of Newbury. July 6, 1748, she was appointed 
administratrix on her husband's estate. June 18, 1759, 
James Ordway was appointed, she probably having died. 
On the same date he was also appointed guardian to the four 
children, Rebecca and Lois above fourteen years of age, and 
Isaac and William under fourteen. Aaron Patten was 
admitted to the Second Church in Amesbury, Nov. 15, 1741, 
and dismissed "to church where he now lived " in 1744. 
This was Newbury.

probably died young. 
iv. Isaac, b. Nov. 4, 1746. He lived in Newbury, where in 
1768 he gave deed of land to Moses Emery, and his 
occupation is given as joiner. Later he went to sea,

N. H., deeded to Joshua Morse, of Hopkinton, N. H., 
David Ordway and Isaac Patten, of Newbury, mari- 
ner, all his interest in land of his father Aaron 
Patten, late of Newbury. This is all that we find of 
him.

25. Thomas '* (William,^ Nathaniel,' William ') was born 
in Medford, Feb. 20, 1719; married Jan. 10, 1745, Mary

where they were admitted to the South Church by profession 
of faith on Feb. 6, 1774. They afterward removed to Temple, 
N. H., and it is said they were the first ones to go there in a 
covered carriage. To reach there they were obliged to follow 
marked trees. Mar. 29, 1782, they were dismissed from 
the church at Andover and transferred to the church at 
Temple, in which place they had already been living for 
some years. He was a private in Capt. Henry Abbott's

at a freemen's meeting, it is recorded that Ensign Nathaniel 
Patten took the oath by law appointed for freemen. He died

" Farewell all earthly joys 

I go to prove 

The endless pleasures 

Of the Saints above." 

Nathaniel and Esther Patten are buried in a small cemetery

About 1773 Colonel Campbell, of Cherryfield, wishing that 
a tannery might , be established there, offered to relinquish 
to Mr. Patten his settler's right or preemption to thirty 
acres in the southern part of the large lot that he had taken 
up for himself and sons. This lot was subsequently con- 
firmed to Mr. Patten as a settler by the proprietors of the 
township. The tannery was established near the creek,

quite young, having been admitted to Harvard at the age 
of twelve years. After graduation he taught school at 
Dedham, Mass., and pursued his theological studies there 
under the charge of Rev. Mr. Havens. He was licensed to 
preach and ordained at Halifax, Mass., Feb. 2, 1757, seven 
weeks before he was nineteen years of age. His predecessor 



FIFTH GENERATION 73 

there was Rev. John Cotton. He remained there until 
Sept. 5, 1766, when, owing to ill health, he asked for a dis- 
missal. In 1767, owing to the ill health of Rev. ELnathan 
Whitman, who was settled over the South Church at Hart- 
ford in 1732, he was settled there as his colleague. Rev. 
Mr. Patten early showed a disposition for the ministry, as 
it is said that at the age of five years he composed a sermon 
on the first verse in the Bible which excited the surprise of 
his friends. From a history of the Second Church of Hart- 
ford, we learn that he was given a call Jan. 29, 1767. On 
Mar. 30, 1767, the following vote was passed by the society: 
" Voted ; That we will make and give to Rev. Mr. Patten, 
his heirs, etc., a lease for nine hundred ninety nine years, 
at the rate of one peppercorn per annum rent, of one acre of 
land belonging to this Society given us by Mrs. Ann Burnham, 
mother of Joseph Buckingham, Esq., late of Hartford, 
deceased, situate in said Hartford, lying South of the Meeting 
House of said Society; and said acre of land is that which 
lies next adjoining land the Society have leased out to Capt. 
Jonathan Seymour ; and also the sum of three hundred and 
fifty pounds, lawful money as a settlement, to be paid in a 
reasonable time, provided he agree to settle in manner as 
above said, and said sum we oblige ourselves to pay in labor 
and materials suitable to build a house, barn, etc. . . . pro- 
vided nevertheless, that if the said Mr. Patten should be 
called to any more public service, or shall of himself, or on 
his own account and default leave said society and cease 
from his work of the ministry among us, then, and in such 
case, he shall return to this society of the settlement we now 
agree to give him, in the manner as follows, viz.: If said 
Patten continues with us thirty years, no part of his settle- 
ment is to be returned ; if he leaves us at the end of ten years, 



74 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

he is to return two thirds ; if at the end of twenty years one 
third of his settlement ; and we do agree that Mr. Patten 
shall have one acre of land to improve during his ministry, 
. . . next to his building lot." 

Mr. Patten was installed Sept. 23, 1767. In the intro- 
duction to a book entitled " Interesting Family Letters," 
his son thus speaks of him: " In person Mr. Patten was 
above the middle stature — he was well formed, and there 
was a remarkable dignity connected with ease and grace in 
all his movements — his countenance was manly, his eye 
intelligent, and expressive. His voice was clear and sonorous, 
full and distinct — every tone adapted to the sentiment he 
uttered. The attention of every one was immediately arrested 
and fixed when he spake. His sermons were strictly evan- 
gelical, and very instructive and impressive. In prayer he 
had uncommon gifts — consisting, principally, of scripture 
expressions, judiciously selected and embodied and very 
appropriate. He was a diligent reader, and eminent in the 
acquisition of knowledge, there being but few subjects with 
which he was not acquainted. He appeared to have an 
intuitive view of every thing to which he attended, so as not 
to require a teacher." 

His health failing him, he resigned his charge at Hartford, 
and in the fall of 1774 went to his father's house in Roxbury, 
where he died Jan. 16, 1775. A letter written by his father 
Jan. 24, 1775, says: " His remains lie with all the ministers 
that have been settled in Roxbury, since it was a town, and 
that have died in this parish." 

He married June 9, 1758, Ruth Wheelock, daughter of 
Rev. Eleazer Wheelock, of Lebanon. She was born Mar. 4, 
1744. Rev. Eleazer Wheelock was founder and president 
of Dartmouth College and died Apr. 24, 1779. Her mother 



FIFTH GENERATION 75 

was Sarah Davenport, daughter of Rev. John Davenport, 
the first minister of Stamford, Conn. He was son of Rev. 
John Davenport, founder and pastor of the first church in 
New Haven, and succeeded Wilson, Dec. 9, 1668, as pastor 
of a church in Boston. He was born in Coventry, England, 
in 1598, and died in Boston, Mar. 15, 1670. He was edu- 
cated at Oxford, and in 1630 was minister of St. Stephen's 
Church in London. 

The three daughters opened a school in Hartford which 
attained great celebrity; there were pupils from several of 
the West Indies as well as various parts of this country. 
Sometimes the school consisted of between two and three 
hundred pupils and perhaps thirty or forty were in the 
family as boarders. The brother George, after graduation 
from college, at first was inclined to a mercantile career, 
but gave this up and opened a school in a separate apart- 
ment from his sisters, taking charge of instruction of boys 
in literary branches and in the classics. When they closed 
their school in 1825, they could count up nearly four thou- 
sand pupils in whose education they had shared. In their 
school the time was divided between study, painting, em- 
broidery, and some needlework. 

Professor Thacher, of Yale College, in an article written 
for the Memorial History of Hartford County on his 
school-days in Hartford, says in part as follows: 

" Mrs. Patten did not engage in teaching at the time of 
which I speak. Even her daughters were well advanced 
in years. But I well remember their gentleness and gentility 
and a certain combination of cheerfulness and sobriety 
which characterized them. Their long service in the trying 
profession of teaching had not soured them. From my own 
experience there I should say that they were especially 



76 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

conscientious in their quiet endeavors to awaken religious 
feeling in their pupils. They lived and taught in a plain 
mansion in Church Street, just west of the present site of 
Christ Church. The exterior of the house was not very 
inviting, but there is scarcely a more charming picture 
brought down in my memory from my childhood than the 
bright, cheerful apartment occupied as a sitting-room by 
the aged and still cheerful mother of this unique family. 
Her presence in it would have been enough to make it 
attractive to a child; but the slanting rays of the sun, the 
pots of flowers, and the Franklin fire, all have their place 
in the picture." 

" There was a brother in this family who was well known 
as a teacher for upwards of twenty years, during which 
period he had in all three thousand pupils. His school was 
known as a ' Literary Institution.' In its earlier years it 
was open to both sexes, but at the time I attended it, as I 
did for three months, the scholars were all boys, and only the 
ordinary branches of a boy's education were taught. Mr. 
Patten was educated at Dartmouth College, and fitted boys 
for college as well as for business during a part of his life 
in Hartford." His school was kept in a room in a building 
on the west side of Main Street, just above Asylum Street. 

When the brother died in 1830, it was the first death in 
the family for fifty-three years. Mrs. Patten was one of 
the founders of the Beneficent Society for the support and 
education of indigent orphan and neglected children. She 
was one of the first contributors to Williamstown College, 
to the Foreign Missionary Society, and to the Connecticut 
Bible Society. She died Dec. 5, 1831. 

The following are parts of the inscriptions on their graves 
in Hartford :

was a blacksmith by trade, and settled in Norton, where he 
died Dec. 28, 1803. His wife died June 2, 1794. He was 
a private in Capt. George Makepeace's company, Col. 
John Daggett's regiment, in 1776, and served for twenty-five 
days. He was private in Capt. Samuel Robinson's company ; 
enlisted June 21, 1778, and served twenty-two days at Rhode

July 27, 1778, to Aug. 13, 1778; eighteen days at Rhode

the son, who was old enough to serve. As the son is 
reported to have been deformed and a hunchback, while 
the father was a strong, vigorous man, it has been generally 
supposed that the record belongs entirely to the father.

14, 1 771. He was one of the pioneers of Westmoreland, 
N. Y., where they lived for seven years, and then bought 
some land that belonged to the Oneida Indians in Vernon, 
N. Y., and went there to live. They lived on what was called 
" Van Eps Patent," a half-mile west of Vernon Village. 
Feb. 17, 1802, the town of Vernon was organized, and at the 
first town meeting Josiah Patten was elected town clerk, 
which office he held for nine successive years. In 181 1 he 
was elected supervisor. " Esquire " Patten held this office 
until 1819. He also served in the militia, as we find in the 
Military Minutes of ,the Council of Appointment of the 
State of New York for Oneida County, under date of Apr. 
14, 1800, that Josiah Patten was appointed ensign of a 
military company. He only served until Oct. 31, 1800, when 
he was succeeded by his brother Jonathan. His daughter 
Julia at the age of 86 years wrote of him, saying : " His 
privileges in school were very limited. He got his learning 
by the light of a pine knot, when his work was done. We 
may call him a self-made man." He died Apr. 12, 1837. 
His wife died Mar. 5, 1858.

bom on the Island of St. Christopher, W. I., in 1727. When 
a young man he came to Philadelphia to live, and took an 
active part in the political proceedings of the times. In

being chosen to that position six times, retiring to private 
life in 1 761. He was a member of the Council of Safety of

in 1776. When commissioners were appointed to go to 
Paris in 1776, Congress not having provided funds for their

Thomas Patten was a merchant of Baltimore, Md., and 
of Alexandria, Va. He was engaged in the flour and prod- 
uce trade in partnership with Col. Joseph May, who con- 
ducted the business in Boston. The firm of Patten, May & 
Co. failed about 1798, owing, it is said, to speculations in 
Georgia lands. His failure was also partly caused by loss 
of his ships at sea. His wife died Oct. 31, 1808. 

After his wife's death he went to Louisiana with his 
eldest son. There he died at Monroe, La., Feb. 6, 1820,

married Sept. 20, 1796, Hannah Hurlbut, at New London, 
Conn. She was the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth 
Hurlbut. She was bom in New London, Dec. 12, 1769. 
William Patten took his degree at Dartmouth in 1783, and 
was ordained to the ministry May 24, 1786. He was settled 
over the Second Congregational Church at Newport, R. I., 
in 1786, and remained there about 48 years. In 1833 he 
retired and removed to Hartford, Conn., where he died in 
1839. He was a fellow of Brown University and received 
from that institution the honorary degree of D. D. in 1807. 
He published several separate sermons, among them " Chris- 
tianity the Tme Religion," a reply to Thomas Paine's " Age 
of Reason " (1795), and " Reminisciences of Rev. Samuel 
Hopkins." 

His wife is said to have set up the first " ragged school," 
the precursor of the modern Sunday School, that was ever 
established in this country. She was assisted in this labor 
of Christian love by Miss Floride Calhoun, of South Carolina. 
Doctor Patten is represented as being a " distinguished 



SIXTH GENERATION 133 

theologian, meek and lowly in heart, most kind and benevo- 
lent." 

In 1834 he published a book entitled " Memoirs of Mrs. 
Ruth Patten;" he also published one under the title of 
" Interesting Family Letters," being letters received by and 
written by his mother during her lifetime. He had a narrow 
escape from death during his last year at college. He was 
at his aunt's, and to get to church on Sunday it was neces- 
sary to cross a river much swollen by copious rains. Several 
of the party crossed in a boat, but William attempted to 
ford on his horse and lead the other horses, but in the middle 
of the stream he was thrown from his horse, and it was with 
much difficulty that he was rescued. After getting him from 
the river it was fifteen or twenty minutes before he could 
be brought to consciousness. 

Mrs. Patten died in Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 30, 1855.

apprenticed to a hatter and worked as a young man at this 
trade. In the latter part of the century he made some trips 
of exploration to the Penobscot, and finally decided to settle 
there. He married Apr. 11, 1 801, his cousin Sally Whittier. 
She was the daughter of Col. Isaac Whittier, of Amesbury, 
who was a veteran of the Revolution. In November, 1801, 
Moses Patten with his brother Amos removed to Bangor, 
Me. 

Moses Patten was agent for the proprietors of the towns 
of Exeter and Corinth, and did much in promoting the settle- 
ment of those towns and of the valley of the Penobscot. 

With his brother he engaged in business in Bangor. They 
gradually extended their operations with good success until 
the troubles growing out of the embargo, non-intercourse, 
and finally the War of 181 2, checked their business career. 
The capture of Bangor by the British fleet finally swept away 
their personal property, as it did of most of those engaged 
in business at that time. Moses Patten was a selectman 
of the town, and with his associates arranged the terms of 
the capitulation, which was made to prevent the destruction 
of the town. At the close of the war they resumed business, 
and having a large part of their real estate still in their hands, 
they were able to retain their place among the leading firms 
of the State, which position they had held for nearly thirty 
years. They retired from business in 1828, but in the panic 
of 1837 they met with heavy losses.

progress, and on one occasion reported subscriptions of 
$172 in cash and $60 in work. As his health was feeble the

four children at their father's decease. Under date of Feb. 
14, 1822, Nancy Patten, of Franklin, Howard Co., Missouri, 
states that she is " entitled to the sum of one hundred dollars 
annually out of the estate, which was of the said Sarah 
Patten in her Hfetime, and whereas a certain lot or parcel 
of ground situated in said town of Boston was, by said last 
will and testament, given to Nathaniel Patten, Junior, Nancy 
Patten, Mary Burdick Patten and Sarah Patten and to their 
heirs and assigns, and whereas also the said persons are 
desirous of selling and disposing of the same," she appoints 
Henry Purkett and William Loring, of Boston, her true and 
lawful attorneys to attend to the same. June 12, 1822, 
Nathaniel Patten, a printer of Franklin, Howard Co., 
Missouri, appointed the same parties as his attorneys, and 
authorized them to sell the property on Beach Street. July 
8, 1822, Isaac S. Nettleton and Nancy, his wife, of Spring- 
field, Indiana, also gave them a power of attorney. Sept. 21,

Co., Missouri; one for a third, being the interest of Nancy

school in 181 7. He went to Virginia to live. While in Har- 
vard he wrote a letter to his father which has been preserved, 
and was read before the Littleton Historical Society on 
Washington's birthday, 1908. A portion of the letter is as 
follows : 

" Cambridge University June i8th, 181 3. 
" Honoured Parent, 

" With peculiar satisfaction I improve this favourable 
opportunity of writing a few lines in compliance with your 
request, although I have no very important news to relate 
to you. The engagement of the Chesepeak with his B. 
Majisties ship Shannon, appears to be a subject that occupies 



SEVENTH GENERATION 175 

the publick attention, and about which they seem to be more 
anxious, than any other at present. We have had no farther 
information with regard to this engagement that can be 
relied on, we have had many vague reports concerning it, 
but nothing I think, that we can give credit to, except that 
she had an engagement, whether favourable, or unfavourable 
to us, remains yet to be determined. But if she be con- 
quered, it will reflect no great honour on our enemy, since 
the Shannon was the best ship they had in their navy of her 
size, and had the best officers aboard that they could select, 
and besides their guns were considerably heavier than ours. 
It is said they mean to use their best endeavours to recapture 
the ship Macedonian, that they will either have her or loose 
their own ships, but I think they will be disappointed 
for the present. Our north-western army it appears have 
considerably retrieved their character of late by taking little 
York and fort George, and some other places the former of 
which was the capital of upper Canada, and the other a 
considerably fortified place. If our army meet with tolerable 
success this summer, it is my opinion they will accomplish 
their design by next autumn, that is, be in possession of all 
Canada. By that time I think our enemy will be willing to 
treat with us on honourable terms. 

"It is said by the federalists that we are engaged in 
unnecessary war, with G. Britain that they have done us no 
material, or at least sufficient injury to declare war against 
them ; that we might have had an honourable settlement with 
them if our government had been disposed to settlement and 
that the democrats were the whole cause of this war. But 
let us look into publick documents and see if this be the case. 
In the first place they have impressed our seamen, contrary 
to all laws and customs of nations, and endeavoured to injure 



176 PATTEN GENEALOGY 

our neutral rights by prohibiting our trade with other nations ; 
this is said by a member of parliament. When they laid the 
orders in Counsil in retaliation to the Berlin decrees, they 
still gave licences to french vessels to trade from one port 
to another, while we could neither have licences nor be per- 
mitted to trade with any other nation, for all this injury we 
had given them no offence, therefore our government thought 
proper to lay an embargo on our shiping, which cut off all 
their trade with us which amounted to upwards of thirteen 
milHon a year; this caused a great complaint among their 
common people, and it injured them far more than it could 
us ; for we could do better without their luxuries than they 
could do without our produce, therefore if the imbargo had 
been strictly adhered to, it is probable they would willingly 
have settled with us. But by the flattering stories of the 
federalists, always favouring them, and opposing their own 
government; by supporting such villains as Henery they 
have induced the enemy to persevere in their obstinacy. If 
we had been united among ourselves, and shewn them that 
we would not suffer our rights to be infringed and our national 
character to be insulted without satisfaction, in my opinion 
they would have been wilUng to settle with us long since. 
There is no doubt but that both parties in this country have 
suffered themselves too frequently to be influenced by preju- 
dice and party spirit but it seems very misterious to me, that 
while both parties hope for the success of the navy; one 
party, the federalist should not be interested in the success 
of the army. If one is engaged in a just cause the (other) 
must be of course, since they are both fiting for the same 
thing. I think it best to support our own government in 
preference to any other, to favour neither England nor 
France since we are an independent nation and are able to 



SEVENTH GENERATION 177 

support our rights. In the course of last term there were 
as many as twelve or fifteen hundred soldiers past this town 
for Sackets harbour. This weak Six hundred and fifty past 
in one body commanded by colonel Damington, one hun- 
dred and fifty more passed yesterday as hardy stout looking 
soldiers as I ever saw. . . .

we take the following : " Mr. Patten received his education at 
the academy in Kingston, and learned, and for fifteen years 
carried on, the trade of a wheelwright. He was popular 
and ambitious, and, receiving the commission of justice of 
the peace and having much facility in the drawing of deeds 
and contracts, he became the magistrate and practically the 
conveyancer of his town. The statute of the State allowed 
him easy access to the courts as an attorney, and he subse- 
quently appKed himself to the study of the law so that he 
was admitted to the bar. He was a representative in the 
legislature from 1855 to 1858 and in 1872 ; a State senator 
in 1 86 1 and 1862, and a member of the Executive Council 
in 1867 ^^^ 1868. In 1 87 1 Dartmouth College gave him the

much executive force, and made the utmost of his powers 
and his position."

Conrad Magruder,' b. July 5, 1878; d. Feb. 27, 1900, 
at Harvard University. He was a member of the class 
of 1899. I^r. A. P. Montague, formerly Dean of 
Columbian University, Washington, D. C, now presi- 
dent of Howard University, Birmingham, Ala., v^rrote 
in one of a series of articles entitled, " Pupils of Other 
Days," the following tribute to him: 

" Another pupil I recall distinctly, and with pleasure, 
blended with pain, Conrad M. Patten, son of a gentle- 
man and lady of fine social position, living then in 
Georgetown, now West Washington, was, if I may 
single out one from so many, the purest, cleanest young 
man I ever knew. A leader in his class, strong in mind, 
pure in heart, gentle, ever courteous, he was perhaps 
the first student of his time in the Columbian Uni- 
versity. He was a boy whom it was pleasant to teach, 
whom it was a privilege to know, whom it was an 
honor to love. Scorning deceit, he was never offensive 
in parading candor ; fond of fun, he was ever respect- 
ful and considerate of others; standing at the head 
of his class, he was a stranger to vanity ; faithful to his 
vows to God, he adorned the institution whose student 
he was. Going to Harvard, he stood there for all that 
he had stood for at Washington. While yet a Harvard 
student, in the bloom of young manhood, with the 
future beckoning him on to home joys, to a larger 
career in the world of which his college course had been 
happy augury, to service for the Master, he died. 
' Beyond the serene and shining pathway of the stars,' 
he waits for those of us who loved him here; he

serves there Him whose child he was here. Such 
souls, making earth brighter and happier, add sweet- 
ness to our hope of heaven, and, in moments of heart 
exultation, call us from the strife here to the peace 
there."
